Oh, man, Lady Gaga’s new video for “Alejandro” is just packed full of ideas for Lego Gagas. I must get back to work on those and figure out a way to get them done more often… Pathetically missing from this video? Moe Howard.

Last night, I spent about two hours further beating my face against the wall that is the build issue I’ve been having in Xcode, as I try to learn this whole computer programming thing. After a point, I quit and started drawing. I kicked out about four pages of heads, working on positioning and proportions. [...]

I was planning for tonight to be another computer programming night at home; read some stuff, write some code, try to get some more things working. But I need to take a day off from that after spending hours yesterday trying to solve a compiler linking issue that should be trivial. My brain still hurts. [...]

Trapjaw, originally uploaded by AndyBartlett. I added four pictures of recent drawings to Flickr; this is a goofy zombie variant of “Trap-Jaw” from He-Man.

Optimus Prime sketches: 3/3/2010, originally uploaded by AndyBartlett. This is the two-page sketchbook spread I did at lunch today; I’m continuing to work on Optimus Prime from IDW’s ongoing Transformers comic series. The one on the left was done first and is pretty bad. The head is huge, the arms are too short and since [...]

I spent some time at lunch today goofing around with my sketchbook in between bites of leftover chick pea and tomato stew doing terrible little sketches of Optimus Prime out of the first issue of IDW’s ongoing “Transformers” series. The story is set a few years after the events of the “Transformers: Revenge of the [...]

I haven’t updated for awhile; I haven’t done much to update about, so there hasn’t been much to race over here and talk about. Some things: I’m trying to get back into drawing. I’ve picked up some more source material and have been scouring them there Internets for things to inspire me. There are a [...]

So, thanks to Twitter, today I discovered the existence of Katie Cook: http://katiecandraw.typepad.com/ The site name isn’t hyperbole; she really can draw. Her work is fantastic, and she has a *lot* of it available for people like me to check out. Her subjects run the gamut of geekdom: Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Battlestar [...]
